Quebec gov't: Arcade Fire can sing in English at National Festival

Bravo for inclusion and common sense !
Merci Qu?bec !

This is awesome news. Could Quebec be finally coming around??

-J.

Now isn't that nice that they let them sing in one of our official languages. We should be eternally grateful.

Quebec should have its own country.

Long live a free Quebec. lol.



Nah, seriously.

A Quebec band should be representing Quebec no matter, English or French.

The fact that ''some'', that are a minority by the way, are making this political is absurd. Quebec is a nice place, music is to be enjoyed by all.

Nice to see Quebec supporting bilingualism

What national festival? I thought St. Jean Baptiste Day was only a provincial holiday

Remember Quebec likes to switch 'provincial' to 'national'. Kind of like the 'National' Assembly.

These people are just flip flopping the issue now that the group won a Grammy they are suddenly 'included' to sing in their language. In any case, that group is on tour that day and has not been invited anyways.

sort of like how the PQ likes to be called nationalist when they are really xenophobes(take note Sandorski. This is the proper use of the term).

Well that's mighty white of them.

With Québecs past history on this sort of thing it's easy to be cynical & smarmmy about this type of news. I get it.

For myself its starting to prove what I've been suspecting for a awhile; a new generation of Québecers is taking over and their not as xenophobic as the old lot.

Not being smarmy Bodha but there is a very long history of this stuff. Wake me up when they decide to be Canadian.
